Description

Police say they’re searching for a man who assaulted someone after midnight at the 47-50th Streets Rockefeller Center subway station in an unprovoked attack. Meanwhile, the City Council is hearing testimony on several bills today, including one on improving access to shelter and city services for newly arrived Black migrants. Plus, René Redzepi, co-owner of Noma, the three Michelin-starred Copenhagen restaurant, is hosting a series of pop-up shops in the city this week to promote Noma's packaged goods. Finally, the New York City Council is opposing proposed budget cuts by Mayor Eric Adams that would reduce funding for the city’s 3K and Pre-K programs. Lawmakers argue that any reduction in early childhood education for 3 and 4-year-olds will worsen the childcare affordability crisis, which is driving young families to leave the city. WNYC’s Sean Carlson speaks with reporter Karen Yi to understand why childcare is unaffordable for most New Yorkers. Finally, it's Poetry Month, and we're playing your poems on our show. Listener Ryan Beck of Brooklyn sent us this poem "Looking out my Crown Heights window."
